foghat43 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah, extremely dangerous for some thug breaking into a gun-owner's home...And Rolling Stone also had Slash ranked at #65 on the greatest guitarists of all time list...so what do they know?

Ace Nova Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Yeah, extremely dangerous for some thug breaking into a gun-owner's home...And Rolling Stone also had Slash ranked at #65 on the greatest guitarists of all time list...so what do they know? If anything, Rolling Stone is leaning pro gun rights in that article. They are basically saying that the most dangerous guns are legal, everyday weapons....not some illegal, fully automatic AK-47.

If anything, Rolling Stone is leaning pro gun rights in that article. They are basically saying that the most dangerous guns are legal, everyday weapons....not some illegal, fully automatic AK-47.It didn't come across as pro-gun at all to me...characterizing legal, everyday weapons as the "firearms causing the most harm" in the US and then quoting ATF/FBI stats linking these guns to criminal activity doesn't exactly say "pro-gun" to me. It's more like they're saying don't worry about the illegal, full auto AKs...these 5 guns are the ones we really need to worry about and get off the streets. And they did throw in assault rifles (of the semi-auto variety). Edited July 17, 2014 by foghat43 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah? And Slash should probably be in the 50s or 60s. But beside the point why fault the entire publication just because they ranked Slash badly? It was probably either a user poll or a journalist with an opinion that was not the same as the gun rights journalist.Or are you suggesting that the ranking of guitar players has anything at all to do with how people feel about gun rights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The important thing is that they (rightfully) didn't mention Ashba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Rolling Stone has just become a liberal douche loudspeaker. It's fine to have an opinion, but don't go all Brian Griffin on it. Republicans are bad, guns are bad, weed is good, gay marriage. Every. Single. Issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I actually agree with their guitarist list for the most part. Missing Steve Howe though. Take off any of the women they have on their and put him in their spot and we are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you implying he's too high or too low?IMO he should be ranked better (not sure if that's higher or lower...depends on how you look at it I guess?)... I mean guys like Angus Young, Johnny Ramone and Prince ranked lower/better than Slash? Please. I'm not necessarily saying he should be ranked as high as Jimi, EC and Page but c'mon...#65??

I know it's all subjective, but...And don't get me wrong...I love the Stones and Keith, but Keith's not even the best player the Stones have ever had...that honor goes to Mick Taylor.

How they rank guitar players obviously doesn't have anything to do with gun rights, but I thought that would go without saying/explanation...

I don't really agree with the order, Keith may have been innovative and helped create some of the most memorable riffs but a lot of the greatness we got from Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street is owed to Mick Taylor. Jeff Beck easily should be ranked among the greats of Clapton, Hendrix and Page. Duane and Eddie should be switched but I know that more people seemed to have been influenced by Eddie than Duane. All and all, it is not a bad list. Certainly better than Spin magazine's list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The link doesn't work for me. Won't let me see the guns. Why just five? Any gun can be the most dangerous. Unless they have M2's a 50. cal rifle then yeah, those are fucking dangerous. You can take out trucks and even police helicopters with those. I am sure they are not open to the civilian market, at least not legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
